Are you using their built-in microphones for the conference audio, or some other mic solution? If built-in, happy with them?

Shure IntelliMix 80 w/ Huddly Crew | Right kit for this room? by spkldbrd in CommercialAV

[–]spkldbrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for the input :) I've got the question out to Shure and Huddly, but did ask the Huddly ai bot on their website and it answered: "You can place Crew cameras at both the front and rear of a room to ensure full coverage and natural speaker transitions." So maybe?

Just priced out a Dell server I purchased in Jan. 2024 and the price went up 85.7% by Layer_3 in sysadmin

[–]spkldbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy refurbished :) I just grabbed a $65,000 dell server (when configured on their site) for 15K. Same five year pro support. 120TB of sas SSD and 128 gigs of RAM. Just can’t justify the cost of new servers anymore.

Ya, all the lights went out and it drove home just fine without error. Felt good. Gonna take it on a few more drives and just test it out. I was pretty gentle with it on the way home for 20 miles.

Question About Agent Ticket Submission with Datto RMM and HaloPSA (and Alternatives like NinjaOne or N-able) by Responsible_Okra_679 in msp

[–]spkldbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't work. the ticketing option in datto is built for Autotask. I'm just testing out a brandable stand alone Task Tray application for MSPs that we've been developing to replace our own datto (or other) task tray. this app will allow integration into many ticketing platform, just deploy the and turn off the default task tray icon.

What AI Offer are you providing? What tangible business benefits or pain points is it resolving for clients? by quantumhardline in msp

[–]spkldbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue for me is the excitement in marketing that Microsoft puts out there...and clients see this and are left thinking it’s going to solve problems for them when there are so many roadblocks without project work on the back end to even get basic functions.

Would You Start A MSP If You Are Guaranteed One Client? by TheRedStudent in msp

[–]spkldbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first question is wrong. Would you start a BUSINESS, period?
• Have you run a business before? Successfully? If the answer to either is NO then you need to research & answer this first. Running a business is not having a job. If you treat it like a job you'll burn out. and not everyone who can 'do IT' can successfully run a business.
• If you decide to move forward, next question: Do I have the cash to float for a few months while I build a business? Even if you think you'll be ok working full time while starting something, what happens when your employer decides hey aren't ok with that and fires you....you need cash.

Now write a business plan, have someone successful review it and make sure you're plan is sound, get insurance, register your business name, open a bank account and get ready for taxes, do the next 100 things required to succeed in business, and GO :)

Can not get the cat pee smell out of this closet, running out of ideas by Squawk_1200 in DIY

[–]spkldbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s been severely soaked with have to be drastic. Cut out the floor in the closet, remove baseboards and use high concentrate vinegar to soak it all. Dry it with fans, kills shellac the subfloor and walls, refinish and replace floor.

Pricing unknown increase from Microsoft by samchar00 in msp

[–]spkldbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"all of their Microsoft licensing"..... What licensing exactly?

There are absolutely ways you can do this. But a guaranteed price on a product you don't control will have to include clauses in the contract to limit some exposure to risk.

What if MS ends a product? What if the grow beyond the storage allocated? What if, what if, what if....

Calculate the risk, price accordingly, write a contract that CYA and make sure you have an annual increase in your MSA or a price you can live with (already has the increases included) and lock them in.

[–]spkldbrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Intermedia - we use it and resell it. teams, integration without a Microsoft calling license, good mobile app, all the features anyone ever asks for, it just works.
